Verse 1:
I've cherished Bible stories
Tales of the pain and glory
But I've got a testimony
Not just what others told me you are I've heard your voice
I've felt your loving kindness
Tasted and seen your goodness Been kissed by your holy presence I've come to know you in the waiting I've seen your face
Chorus:
I don't need a front row seat Might not be VIP
I have the nearness of the Father And he's right here with me
I don't need a front row seat Might not be VIP
I have the nearness of the Father And he's right here with me
Verse 2:
You're not impressed by stages You don't prefer the famous
So no matter what my name is This love, it never changes for me You stay the same
Chorus:
I don't need a front row seat Might not be VIP
I have the nearness of the Father And he's right here with me
I don't need a front row seat Might not be VIP
I have the nearness of the Father And he's right here with me
Here we are sitting at his feet
Close enough that we can hear him speak Close enough that we can feel him breathe
Bridge:
Not just another face in the crowd
More than another voice crying aloud
You always hear me because I'm your child Abba
You sent your son from His seat on the throne
Laid down His life for the lost and alone
No we don't deserve all the things that you've done Jesus
Down Chorus
You gave up your front row seat So I could be VIP
So I could be nearer to the Father Sitting at your feet"
